the last priest

The world of mortals is rolling in the east, and the waves wash away the heroes.

In front of Zha Wenbin is the Wangchuan River, and now he is standing by the river between Yin and Yang, but he has no chance to go back to the other side of the bridge.

Because there is no turning back in Huangquan, Cha Wenbin is naturally very clear about this, but he also knows another secret of Wangchuanhe:

Some infatuated people don’t need to drink Mengpo soup in order to meet their favorite in this life in the next life, then they have to jump into the Wangchuan River and wait for thousands of years to reincarnate.In the millennia, you may see the person you love the most in your life walking on the bridge, but the words cannot communicate, you can see him, but he cannot see you.During the millennia, you saw him walk over the Naihe Bridge over and over again, and drank bowl after bowl of Mengpo soup, and you hoped that he would not drink it, and you were afraid that he would not forget the thousand-year suffering in the river and the loneliness of waiting. .

Drinking Mengpo soup, you can understand the old dreams of the past, and break the cause and effect.Forget the ups and downs of the first life, the love and hatred of the whole life, and meet strangers in the next life; jump into the river of forgetfulness, and be bitten by copper snakes and iron dogs in the dirty waves.

After a thousand years, if your mind is immortal and you can still remember the past life, you can re-enter the world to find the person you loved most in the previous life.

But there is a way to do it, and that is to jump into the Wangchuan River.

It is said that before the construction of the Naihe Bridge, this was the only way to the underworld. As long as you want to reincarnate, you must cross this river.

At that time, the Wangchuan River had another name called "Santu River".

Santu River is also called Santu River.According to legend, "Santu River" is the dividing line between the world of life and the world of death.Because the water flow will be divided into three types: slow, normal and rapid according to the behavior of the deceased, it is called "three ways".

Just like life and death can only be crossed by reincarnation, there is only one way to cross the "Santu River", that is, the ferry on the "Santu River", there is no other way.

However, the ferry has to pay the toll, and souls without tolls will not be able to board the ferry, and even if they do, they will be thrown into the "Santu River" by the boatman.This is why later, after a person dies, we must put a pot of burning paper money in his coffin.

But all relatives and friends who come to commemorate must sincerely burn a wad of paper money, which can be regarded as tolls for them.The joss sticks are also mainly used to honor the servants and boatmen, and those who still need to burn must be sincere, so they are often burned on their knees.

Driven by the desire of reincarnation, those souls who cannot cross the river will wade across the river, but the water of the "Santu River" not only has no buoyancy, but also has a poison that can corrode souls.Those souls who enter the water will never have the chance to go ashore, and can only become water ghosts in the "Santu River".

The pain of never being able to reincarnate and the bone-chilling cold water make those water ghosts jealous of other souls who still have the hope of reincarnation. As long as a soul falls into the water, they will rush forward and pull it to the bottom of the river to become the same water as them ghost.

So since the Naihe Bridge was built, I have never crossed the Wangchuan River without a soul, because no soul can bear the sins here, even if a few people know the thousand-year-old legend here, most of them can’t survive it In these years, the human soul has long been broken by the limbs tortured by endless pain.

Zha Wenbin was standing at the head of the bridge at the moment, and there was an idea deep in his heart guiding him to the river. Countless innocent souls were howling heart-piercingly below.

With a "plop", he plunged headlong into the bloody Wangchuan River, and disappeared in the river in an instant.Only clusters of Bianhua flowers on both sides of the river are still swaying in the wind. They are so bright red, which is the only color on Huangquan Road. It is known as the "Road of Fire". Nether hell.This is also another origin of the ever-burning lamp. When the oil dries up, the lamp goes out, and the flowers wither and people die!

In the tumbling Wangchuan River, Cha Wenbin only felt the pain in his body, wrapped in a circle of white light.The evil ghosts who met ran away one after another, and when they had no time to dodge, they turned into a wisp of green smoke.

While struggling, he saw a human-like man sitting on the bow of the boat, wearing a coir raincoat, holding a fishing rod in one hand, but he could not see a hook on the line.

This soul that fell into the water, how can he allow him to escape?

Numerous ghosts sailed down from the upper reaches of the sailboard like a ghost, and they were about to catch up with Zha Wenbin. Unexpectedly, the man in Tsing Yi, who looked like a Taoist priest, lifted the pole in his hand, and Zha Wenbin was caught by him. Fished on the boat.

"Go, let me cross the Wangchuan River three thousand times in exchange for your ten-year life!" After finishing speaking, the Taoist in Tsing Yi waved his hand, and Cha Wenbin fell into the Wangchuan River again like a kite with a broken string. . . . . .

I don't know when it got dark again. Two clouds, one black and one white, began to collide violently. Lightning waved wantonly in the sky like a snake, and the roaring thunder bombarded everyone's eardrums.

It was raining, and the soybean-like raindrops hit each of them on the face like hail.

Crying silently, tears mixed with rain, no one can separate them.

Chaozi's knees were already numb, he didn't believe that his brother Wen Bin left them like this, he was so omnipotent, how could he die in such a silent way, a dead body in the wilderness!

"He's gone! Chaozi, get up! He's gone, we can't let Wen Bin get wet in the rain anymore, get up!" Old Wang's throat was already hoarse, and such persuasion had lasted a whole day.Chaozi just knelt in front of Cha Wenbin's corpse, never taking a step away, and no one else could even take a step closer.

Zhuo Xiong and Hengroulian knelt on both sides like wooden stakes. The three of them had let the wind and rain beat them for a whole day without eating or drinking.

Lao Wang understands that if this continues, they will never leave this forest, and they will all be buried here.It's not that he is willing to leave Wen Bin, but that the most important task right now is to stay alive, and only by living can he be worthy of Wen Bin's sacrifice.

He persuaded earnestly: "Son, I know you are uncomfortable, and I am also uncomfortable, but Wen Bin is gone, we still have to live, we have to continue, listen to my advice, we will take him out of here together, let him Returning the fallen leaves to their roots is the top priority! You can’t do this anymore, even if Wen Bin is under the Nine Springs, he can’t rest in peace!”

"Get out! Get out!" This was the first sentence Chaozi said today, his hands were tightly packed into fists, and the bones made a "clack" sound.

"I..." Old Wang was at a loss for words for a while, he understood what Chaozi was resenting, but he still said, "After you go back, beat and scold me as you please, but right now we really can't delay any longer, hurry up Bar!"

"If you are afraid of death, you can go first, and no one will stop you." Even Zhuo Xiong, who has always spoken steadily, said this sentence. Lao Wang knew that they were finished, and they were completely finished after losing Cha Wenbin. A team without a soul is destined to be a walking dead, and any storm can overturn them.He slowly closed his eyes and said silently in his heart: Wen Bin, wait for us, the brothers will come down to accompany you soon.

At some point, the sky began to clear up, and when the dark clouds dispersed, a sunset glow began to appear on the edge of the sky.The contiguous clouds of fire seemed to burn the lake dry, making the sky red and everyone's faces red.It's a pity that no one cares to appreciate the beautiful scenery on such a good day.The three of them were still kneeling in front of Cha Wenbin, only Lao Wang was silently burning paper money, even though it was also dug out of Wenbin's bag.

I don't know if it's rain or sweat, but Chaozi's hair gathered into a crystal water column, and through it, the sunset is so beautiful.The drop of water hanging on the tip of his hair was already precarious, and he tried to drop it several times but couldn't. Just like they were reluctant to leave Cha Wenbin, it was also reluctant.

Old Wang was saying Wen Bin, you have gone all the way, while licking the new paper money. The paper ash on the ground had already burned a thick layer, and some paper money had not been burnt completely, so he took a small stick to pick a few. .Just like this, a sudden wind blew up from somewhere, and a piece of Ming Coin that was still burning flew into the sky, and he also stood up, watching, watching...

"Tick tock", the drop of sweat on Chaozi's forehead finally fell, and it just landed on the corner of Zha Wenbin's mouth. If someone saw it, they would definitely find that the corner of Zha Wenbin's mouth twitched slightly on the ground.

"Boom", this man couldn't hold on any longer, and fell into Cha Wenbin's arms...
